"Recovery has an identity that defies itemisation...The word that kept coming to my mind was patience, a sense that things would take as long as they took, that the moments of musical glory will arrive when they are earned and then go when they're over". -Dylan Coburn Gray for Draff magazine (Live Collision performance of Recovery).
